Know your tools: speed comparison between C++ compilers

Slashdot has published their own benchmarks that pit Intel C++, G++ and LLVM Clang against each other. The benchmark is tailored to modern C++ development needs and involves code using both the TBB and the Cilk Plus parallel processing libraries. Quite a bit of template heavy metaprogramming code has also been included to test the compilation time performance. In total, over 6000 lines of code have been fed to each compiler.
